Yeah - i'm not sure about 10-20 but 5, sure. I've always liked Creel - he's very talented and very good at what he does. But so far, having seen the majority of his roles on Broadway, I don't think what he does is super unique or special outside of how special it is to be a wonderful singer, good actor, good mover, charming and good looking, all at the same time and on stage. (and don't get me wrong, that list isn't meant to undermine his talent or the difficulty of being a broadway performer at his level)
I think this will probably keep him from ever being iconic in his talent or Broadway career, but he will probably always work and always be good.
For what it's worth, I would EASILY have given the Tony to Lucas Steele last year over Creel. (And I wouldn't have given it to him for Millie or Hair either, despite thinking he was excellent in both) |
